Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional water-in-oil cushion cosmetic products face issues with clogged pores due to solidifying agents, poor moisture release, and instability, leading to a heavy and suffocating sensation, while emulsion-type cosmetics lack water resistance and adhesion.

Innovation Solution

A low-hydrous water-in-oil cosmetic composition with a mesh-type container, using a combination of main and auxiliary emulsifiers and hollow-structured gloss pigments, allows for controlled moisture release through a mesh net, providing stability and a cushion effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a water-in-oil cushion cosmetic product uses solidifying agents to increase formulation stability, then formulation stability is improved, but the pores of the sponge become clogged and moisture release is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveformulation stabilityVSAvoidpore clogging
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes solidifying agents from the formulation entirely, replacing them with a water-in-oil emulsion system that maintains stability without clogging sponge pores. This extraction of the problematic component resolves the contradiction between stability and pore clogging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the formulation parameters by using a specific water-in-oil ratio (20-40% water phase) and selecting appropriate emulsifiers to achieve stability without requiring solidifying agents. This parameter optimization allows the product to remain stable while maintaining pore permeability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If a water-in-oil cushion cosmetic product uses a high water phase content to improve moisture release, then moisture release is improved, but the formulation becomes unstable and experiences component separation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater phase contentVSAvoidformulation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the water phase content to a specific range (20-40%) and combines it with carefully selected emulsifiers to achieve both high moisture release and formulation stability. This parameter optimization prevents component separation while maintaining adequate water content for moisture release.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite emulsion system with multiple emulsifiers working together to stabilize the water-in-oil formulation at high water content. This composite approach allows the formulation to maintain stability while releasing moisture effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of operation

If an emulsion-type cosmetic composition is used to improve smooth spreadability, then smooth spreadability is improved, but water resistance and adhesion are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesmooth spreadabilityVSAvoidwater resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the emulsion type from oil-in-water to water-in-oil, which fundamentally alters the properties. The water-in-oil structure provides natural water resistance while maintaining smooth spreadability, resolving the contradiction between ease of application and water resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If a powder-type cosmetic composition is used to improve adhesion to skin, then adhesion is improved, but the skin experiences high dryness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion to skinVSAvoidskin dryness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite water-in-oil emulsion that combines the adhesion benefits of powder-type cosmetics with the moisture-supplying properties of emulsion-type cosmetics. This composite formulation provides both good adhesion and prevents skin dryness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
